A New Love

 
Excuse me but did I get the memo late?  Yesterday for lunch I went to Nordstrom's CafĂ© and on my way out scanned the racks and fell in love.  That - I can't live without you type of love.  What did I fall in love with?  If you must know look at the images below.  Aren't they perrrty?  Even though they don't cost much, I will leave them in the store for a couple of weeks.  Why?  1) I went over my budget for Aug and 2) I want to purchase a couple at a time.  I hope you enjoy.

What does petite mean to you?

I have a coworker who prefers not to look at petite bloggers b/c they’re petite; which in some regards I consider myself.  However, she ran across a blogger who stated she was petite even though she was a tad bit on the curvy side.  I started thinking did this curvy blogger mean short or was she correct in her description of herself?  Now, I’m 5’2 and my measurements are 33-28-41.  By looking at my hips – petite wouldn’t jump right out at you.  In clothing - Tops: XS, Pants: 6-8, Skirts: 4, Dresses: 4 or XS.  So where do I stand?  In most cases my pants are short or petite and in tops I prefer regular cut vs. petite “I have a long upper- torso.”   In addition, how does weight and body dimensions factor into your description? 

The dictionary says
Petite is: having a small trim figure —usually used of a woman
Short is: having little length

Based on the definitions, my curvy blogger would be short not necessarily petite.   Do you think the fashion industries explanation is accurate or confusing?  Let me know what you think.

Say Yes to Color

First let me say thanks to all the stylish bloggers for their daring looks.  I say thank you b/c up until today, I would have never put on a skirt that wasn't black, gray or brown.  In the past I left color up to my tops but my eyes have seen the light.  I hope you like.

Outfit Recap & the Aftermath

Wow.  Yesterday was unnerving, interesting, and exciting.  My 8yr old is still talking about the earthquake this morning; it consumed his mind.  I had to tell him to quit talking about it before I lose my mind.  The only damage I suffered was a broken mirror but all else survived.  I hope everyone did better than I.  Enjoy your day!

Q of the Day #2: Is it appropriate to wear flip-flops in the office?

Huh…No!  Since the weather broke, I’ve noticed a bad trend and it’s ladies who think it’s ok to rock flip-flops at work. It’s one thing to walk into work that way but once you hit the door they disappear.  For some reason flip-flops or as my coworker would say “shower shoes” have a time and a place and work isn’t on the list.  I’m all for pushing the envelope but come on.

Slow Rise

I’m tired – stayed up last night to watch True Blood.  You know as much as I wanted Sookie to hook up with Eric last season, I prefer the old Eric.  I mean really can we get over humanizing him.  Anyway, here is my look for Monday at the Office.
